"I’ve had enough of your lighthearted positivity.
There’s nothing light about this.
Nothing light about
four or more years of dismantled life."
Part of one of two new poems of mine newly appearing in The Literary Underground

"We found its dead body inside a kitchen cabinet,
skinny, curled to one side, and all alone.
Sometimes we learn the hard way
that other people think we're overreacting
by getting really upset when a little pet dies,
as if it should be easy to replace
one little pet with another little pet
or one spouse with another spouse.
As if death is not the end of everything."
Some lines from the poem "From Hormone Imbalance to Death", the first of thirteen poems which appear within Cook's poetry chapbook, "Revolting".
Revolting is now available in the Blood Pudding Press shop HERE - https://www.etsy.com/listing/1851916682/new-revolting-by-juliet-cook-2024-poetry

Your cruddy lip ring is hissing mold down your unclean throat.
Since you don't believe in heaven or hell, you will burn in mold."

that some mice will eat their own babies

When I disagree, you launch
into a vanishing act
until I change my mind
or make my own thoughts disappear,
but I have my own brain waves, brimming with mice
slithering out, descending limbs, disfigured stumps
transfigured into wings
with their own inflections.
The more you try to force me to see what you see,
the darker I will become until I am
saturated in the real me,
ascending into reverse abandonment.
